It's only now, after winning "The Biggest Loser Wins", that Sandeep Sachdev has bared a secret he had kept
under wraps throughout the show. Delhi-based Sandeep, who lost 50 kgs on the show, is the younger brother
of Sumeet Sachdev aka Gautam Virani of "Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi).
"Nobody ever asked me about my family so I never spoke up. I used to answer whatever I was asked and most
of the time I used to be lost in my own dream world," smiles Sandeep, who surprised his elder brother with his
feat in the reality show.
The youngster is no less excited himself. "I was thin as a child but then I
gained weight due to my bad eating habits. But now I am feeling very light and I am on cloud nine."
About big brother Sumeet, who's five years elder to him, Sandeep says: "I remember how five years back he
had to lose 17 kgs in two months when he got his first break in television. I was also inspired to lose weight
but then but couldn't succeed."
Now that "Biggest Loser" has made him a known face on television, acting offers are pouring in. Sandeep is
keeping his fingers crossed about the possibility of playing a reel brother to Sumeet. "If I get a chance I would
love to do it.
But right now, I am very happy because I am getting many film offers which I had never
expected in my life. This is quite unbelievable. I am also getting many television offers and I would love to do
them."
Hope the two brothers follow their own paths in the glamour industry and don't let envy creep into their
relationship.
